The correct answer is tort.
In legal terminology, a tort refers to a wrongful act which leads to damage to somebody, their property, or their reputation. As a result of this, the person who has been wronged can sue the person who wronged them and ask for a monetary compensation. The word tort comes from Latin tortum, which means wrong or injustice.
